Hollywood Continues Its Copycat Tradition

The film industry loves to repeat itself… Just look at all the sequels out there.

In addition to reworking the same concept in a series format, Hollywood movie makers love to rework the same concept even when making it for the first time. Linda Lovelace, Snow White, and Steve Jobs are the latest subjects continuing the time-honored tradition of duplicate movies in theaters relatively close to each other.

Conflicting reports of who was going to play deep-throating icon Linda Lovelace spawns from the fact that there’s actually two films being produced: Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, and, simply, Lovelace.

The first is an autobiography adaptation of Lovelace based on the book of the same title. Lindsay Lohan was originally on slate to star in this one. Malin Akerman has since replaced her. The second, Lovelace, is an original film that will star Amanda Seyfried.
